"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

Points to Ponder ...

"My children may bicker, and I may—almost certainly will—complain. But the bickering and the griping are chaff, and what’s left when the winds of time carry them away are the golden kernels I want to savor..."
--Melissa Wiley

This year, it's all about Family Tales ... and Father Bear's Flying Flapjacks! (It was actually Taz's idea. I wasn't sure at first, but after a trial run using cookie tray catchers and a few old yogurt container lids, we figured, why not?) :)

Taz, Junie B. and Sunny-boy all turned out to be excellent pancake catchers. We only lost one pancake. :)

Here, by the way, is our favorite pancake recipe (you'll never go back to Bisquick!):

Sift into a medium-sized bowl:

1-1/2 c white or whole wheat flour1T plus 1/2 t baking powder1 t salt

Place in a small bowl (or, in our house, a kid helper-friendly shaker cup!):

1 egg2 T honey1-1/4 c milk3 T melted butter

Shake or whisk together until well-mixed. Add to the dry ingredients and stir well. Scoop by scant 1/4 c onto hot griddle (we pre-grease, one time only, with a little vegetable oil spray). Cover, to ensure the middle of the pancake gets cooked. Flip when bubbles form and the edges look slightly dry; continue cooking, covered, for a minute or two or until bottom is golden brown.
